Jokersmokers Bio

[Jokersmoker]

Hi! My name is Mark and I'm 49 from Ontario Canada. The name Jokersmoker came from a time years ago when I was trying to enter a yahoo chat room. Joker was already taken,and so was Smoker (the Steve Miller song the joker was in my head) Anyway I put the two together and Jokersmoker was created(I am the Original by the way),even though thousands have copied the handle on the web.My first experience with finding deals was cross border shopping in the States. I did a lot of it .It seemed that for every 10 stores I saw there would be 2-3 good deals,for ex. Radio Shack 299 phone demo for 15.As time went by I got involved with Broadcasting and selling Audio and Video. My very first shopping board on the web was DVDTalk under the name Marke. there was talk at the time about a lot of deals coming from a site called AT. I discovered AT soon afterward and
was so happy with some of the deals here at AT that I wanted to contribute back to the site. FW invited me to join them a few months later,and a couple of months after that I became a member of MC. Never did I dream the love and respect I have gotten from everyone and it pleaes me knowing that my work was appreciated. Once again thanks for 5 years.

Where abouts in Ontario do you live?

 

[BrokenVisage]

you rule, good day sir!

 

[Juno]

Thanks, Marke, for everything!

Would you kindly consider a few written words here explaining to we awed and amazed mortals (still! and after all these years) how you marshaled the resources to come up with SO MANY deals without devoting every minute of your every waking day to the pursuit?

Honestly, none of us here can figure that one out, and we'd all love to know before you hit the happy trails.

Thanks again, man, you were and are one for the history books -- one of a kind and in a class all your own! :beer:

WTF? You're from Ontario?! How the heck do you find all the good US deals then?!

Mark, it's great to read a little about you and I thank you very much for all the work you've done to bring countless great deals to AT. Your contributions will truly be missed.

Perknose is right - we'd love to know how you do it! While no one could replace you, at least we might muster up a few pale imitations!

It's weird how most of the great Hot Dealers got their start on DVDTalk. I wonder if Geoff ever browses ATOT? Will someone please post a 'shout out' in the Otter Farm?

Mark, thank you for sharing your bio and giving us a small glimpse into your fascinating life. I know that you're a private person and just want to share Hot Deals which I totally respect. It's so great to finally put a name next to the HOT DEALS LEGEND that you are.

If I had your email address I'd e-mail you the login details for Jokersmoker.com :thumbsup: so you can upload whatever you want.

On behalf of thousands of Hot Dealers who have saved so much money thanks to your tireless efforts, Merry Christmas

You really are one of a kind and you will be missed after you retire. I hope you'll still visit the forums from time to time.

Ross
